Oncologic ear resection can create partial skin and / or cartilage defects that make reconstruction of this site difficult and challenging. Several techniques have been described, however few cases of surgery for defects in the cauda helicis have been reported. The authors describe an interpolation flap in this anatomical location for the correction of a defect secondary to the excision of a basal cell carcinoma.
